It is only a matter of time to take over the five states of the Han area. Those powerful families and powerful people will have various influences before they will slowly be revealed.

Now for the country, the most urgent task is still a financial issue.

Financial issues can even be said to be the most important issue for a country, and are even more important than military issues.

Because only countries with stable and wealthy finances can support a large number of troops, and have sufficient ability to train, arm the army, and improve their combat effectiveness.

Finance is the pillar and the cornerstone of a country.

Without a good finance, no matter how powerful the empire is, it is just a castle in the air.

In the era of cold weapons, nomadic tribes were an exception. Their financial situation was not good and their systems were very backward. However, although they were strong, they were only for a while.

Looking at the world history, although nomadic tribes were strong, their protagonists were mostly farming countries.

In ancient times when productivity was low, only the farming society could truly support a lasting empire.

In ancient China's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce was actually the most in line with the policies that were in line with that era. However, with the change of the times and the progress of society, such a national policy is no longer suitable for the Mingting today.

"How is the problem of the joint fleet turning into the south?"

Xu An asked the question he cared about the most.

Although the treasury now has a large amount of wealth, these wealth are accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years by the powerful families.

In fact, the national fiscal fixed income and expenditure are actually extremely unbalanced every year, and expenditure is much higher than income.

Not counting military garrison troops, the garrison troops in various places, as well as military regions and direct-level troops, have exceeded 300,000, as well as police troops in various places, as well as town pavilions officials.

The reason why the imperial power does not go to the countryside is not that he does not want to go to the countryside, but that he cannot afford such a huge amount of money.

Xu An increased his control over the town pavilion and sent more officials, but he could not send officials to every settlement.

Even if it is limited to this, the money and food consumed are huge.

The output of the gold and silver mines that Mingting now owns is enough when it only occupied Bingzhou, but it is no longer enough now, and all the output is just a drop in the bucket.

Solving the financial problem is nothing more than two points: one is to increase the source and the other is to reduce expenditure.

There is no need to consider throttling, because all current policies have been repeatedly tested and the best solutions that can be come up so far.

After the world was stable, Xu An was ready to gradually cut off troops from the mainland.

However, the direct-level army will naturally not be cut at all. The five states of Hanting will also ensure that they can suppress the local standing army to prevent the powerful families from causing any trouble.

There are two completely different things to do with a knife and without a knife in your hand.

Turning the joint fleet into the south is the first thing that needs to be done to open up the Maritime Silk Road.

The only navy in the north are the two countries, Dognu and Xiematai. The ships of these two countries can be easily solved by relying on the existing Haidong fleet under Lu Sheng. After all, they are just dozens of small boats.

When a war really starts, you don’t even need to use a crossbow. You can knock it over by just driving a boat. Taking off Dongyi Island is just a bag and taking it out.

Liaozhou and Haidong Province do not need to retain so many warships now, so moving them to the south is a must.

"Most of the officers and soldiers were convinced. The soldiers affiliated with the Haidong Fleet had completely agreed to the migration plan, but there were still some people in Liaozhou who were unwilling to leave their hometowns and were unwilling to move south."

"How many people are there in this group?"

"Three thousand two hundred and fifty people."

The statistics work is done by the Eagle and Wolf Guard, so it is very detailed.

Xu An frowned slightly. Although he had expected it, people in this era still looked at his hometown beyond his expectations, and the hometown was hard to leave after all.

The conditions he offered were already very favorable. He planned to build several new ports in Jiaozhou and Yangzhou. As long as the soldiers were willing to follow the fleet south, their families would be taken to the south. If their clans were willing to move, they would also have various preferential policies, and they would be treated equally with clans who were willing to expand their territory.

"Let me persuade you again. You don't need to worry too much about the impact of disease and disagreement. You can move with the fleet. There are also many medical students who have entered the port. There are no need to worry about safety issues. There will be heavy troops stationed in all ports."

"There are supporting facilities in the port cities, schools, factories and markets everywhere, and it is not a wild place. Explain it clearly and understand it with emotion and reason."

Xu An rubbed the position of his temples. These soldiers had experience in naval battles and navigation at sea. They must be kept to the south as much as possible so that they can plan to open up trade routes in the future.

There are many undeveloped islands and places near the equator. Whether you go east to the Southeast Asian Islands, or go west to the Middle East and Africa, you can harvest a large amount of specialties.

Various spices, specialties, and rare animals and plants can be transported back to China for a large amount of money, and selling them to foreign countries can be exchanged for huge profits.

"promise."

Jia Xu responded. When he saw Xu An's reaction, he increased his attention to this matter a little more. He thought in his mind and was already thinking about the plan.

"How is the Ocean Fleet recruitment preparation?"

"The ten warships of the Ocean Fleet have been selected. According to the instructions of the Ming Dynasty, two large ships with a capacity of 2,000 miles, the rest are 1,500 materials, and the flagships are 2,500 materials, but..."

Jia Xu looked puzzled. To be honest, the tasks assigned by Xu An were more difficult than the other ones.

When sailing in the ocean, you have to cross the ocean in a long time. The time is often measured in years. The risks are extremely high. There are very few sailors that can be recruited. Now you are equipped with three ships of sailors.

"Now only three ships have been recruited, and the rest are still being recruited."

Jia Xu pondered for a while and made a suggestion.

"It is better to recruit fishermen and people who are familiar with water from Jiaozhou and Yangzhou to supplement them, and then use our officers and soldiers as commanders, and then perform the task of crossing the ocean after they mature."

"This is a solution..."

Xu An hesitated for a moment, but soon realized that the suggestion made by Jia Xu was indeed good.

In this way, there should not be too shortage of manpower issues, and many plans can be implemented.

He formed the ocean fleet for those special crops far away in the Americas.

America is really a land that is sought after by the sky. High-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are all in the Americas. And most importantly, rubber produced in America is urgently needed by Mingting now.

With this crop, he can change southern Xinjiang into a rubber farm, use it as a pillar industry in southern Xinjiang, and win over all tribes in southern Xinjiang with the rubber industry, so as to separate them from the backward tribe production methods.

Moreover, rubber can be used in many aspects. Rubber can be used as a tire, or as some buffers, sealing objects, and sealing materials. Mingting's current industrial technology will be rapidly improved.

"It just so happens that I'm worried about how to place Yang, Jing's navy."

Xu An's brows stretched out, and Jia Xu's words woke him up.

Jingzhou is located in the south and is far away from the Central Plains. Because of its unique geographical environment, the clan power is extremely strong and the clan is deeply rooted.

Liu Bingdan rode into Jingzhou and spent only extreme time to seize the southern counties and states controlled by Sun Jian at the time and took control of the power of Jingzhou because he used the power of the Jingzhou family.

However, because of this, the Jingzhou family is too big to lose, and it is difficult to control all rights. Due to the constraints of the Jingzhou family, many things cannot be done.

Although these powerful families in Jingzhou are now under high pressure, it is expected that they will inevitably be subject to considerable resistance after the policy is implemented.

These powerful families that have been rooted in the local area for hundreds of years or even thousands of years must not be retained, at least they cannot be kept in their original locations.

During the Western Han Dynasty, a batch of wealthy families and powerful people would be harvested every once in a while, and the state would forcibly move them to prevent local forces from falling out.

However, such a system was not implemented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty to a large extent because of the help of the powerful families. Because of this, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not inherit such a system. It is precisely because of this that the power of the powerful families in the Eastern Han Dynasty was so huge.

"Shura Martial God"

Now all the consequences and impacts of this will be borne by Mingting, who has taken over the Hanting country.

Xu An is not Liu Xiu, and Mingting is not Hanting either.

Liu Xiu started his family with powerful families, and the reason why Xu An was able to conquer such a huge territory and establish a country was because he relied on the swords and guns in his hands and the most ordinary people in the world.

"Jingzhou first focuses on maintaining stability. The navy is on the list. These people remain unmoved for the time being. After the four southern ports are built, they will be transferred to the south to break up and split into the various armies as supplementary troops of the South China Sea Fleet."

Xu An thought for a while and had a certain plan in his heart.

Although he can completely suppress others with his power now, this will certainly cause some turmoil.

If you want to move the powerful family and maintain stability, you should slowly plan and first cut off the wings of the powerful family.

"The intensity of the public trial has been increased a little more. Now is not the time to defeat Wei Ting."

"The world has been decided, and it also takes manpower to expand southern Xinjiang. Since these powerful families have enjoyed thousands of years of glory and wealth for hundreds of years, and have chosen to resist, then we will make some contributions to the country to make up for the advantage they have taken."

"promise."

Jia Xu's heart moved slightly, and his body felt a little chilled.

Xu An's words have already determined the fate of the five states in the Han area and the powerful families of Xu and Qing provinces.

Relocate with government orders, first remove the wings of recruitment, and then use public trials to win the hearts of the people to explore its foundation.

Everything that a powerful family can rely on is not enough in the Ming court today.

Comparing the two with each other is like a child and an adult, there is a huge difference and there is no chance of winning at all.

only……

Xu An took action against the rebellious families in the five states of the Han area, so how should they deal with themselves in the future?

After all, no matter what aspect it is, the Jia family is also a noble family.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked.

Although Yan Zhong said that Xu An would never do this, people's hearts are separated from each other and are more important than the country.

Jia Xu's expression recovered after just a little change. He has always been good at controlling his emotions and expressions, but Xu An's unconcealed murderous intent still made him feel a little scared involuntarily.

Being with the king is like accompanying a tiger, not a false statement.

Even if Xu An, the "jun", has not done anything tyrannical, it still makes people feel scared.
